Polara Ultimate Straight Self Correcting 2 Piece Golf Balls (1 Dozen)

I purchased these golf balls after a recommendation from a friend. After using them this past weekend at my local course, here is my take on these self-correcting golf balls.

One thing is for certain, these golf balls do reduce hook and slice. There is absolutely no doubt about it. I naturally hit a fade on most of my tee shots, and just watching the flight of the golf ball you can see that the Polara want's to start fading but after only 40 or 50 yards it stops dead in its track and goes straight as an arrow. The golf balls seem to roll much farther as a result, so some could even say that these are extra distance balls.

They even make a big difference with your irons from short range. When you turn the side-stamp of the ball perpendicular to the green and use a lofted iron within 120yds or so, the dimples create more backspin than a normal ball would. For the first time in my life, the golf ball stopped right where it landed and on occasion it even rolled backwards and sideways on the green. It made me feel like a better golfer.

For those of you that go out on the weekends for a relaxing game of golf and could use a little more accuracy and improved play, these are for you! They help me enjoy a morning or afternoon of golf even more.

I would not hesitate to buy another box, especially when Amazon is selling these for under $20 a dozen. Go for it!

Wilson 18 Pack Titanium Ball

I paid less then 50 cents a ball for these Wilson's. I shoot in the lower to mid 80's, and these work great for my game. On a forgiving course where I don't usually lose a ball, I like playing Pro V's, but I pay too much for them to lose two or three a round...enter the Wilson Titanium! I like the feel these give me. I've read golf ball reviews where these balls were criticized for a lack of feel around the greens. I disagree. They feel soft and give good feedback after each shot. I can back spin them from 100 yards in and they last for one or two rounds. How much more can you ask of a 50 cent golf ball?
